"Wind It Up" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani. It was released on October 31, 2006 as the lead single from Stefani's second studio album The Sweet Escape. The song contains a sample from "The Lonely Goatherd" which was originally from The Sound of Music.
In July 2005, Stefani began writing and recording material with Pharrell Williams in Miami, Florida for her album.[1][2]
Many music critics did not like the yodeling that was featured in the song.[3][4][5]
Stefani later said about the song:
I knew some people wouldn't get it but I think I am enough down the line to not care. The people that did get it are Sound Of Music fans and really got a lot of pleasure from it. I still think it's brilliant and I stand by it. Why can't you do something weird for a while? These songs are all about having fun, silly records that are to be enjoyed and not taken too seriously.
Credits adapted from the liner notes of The Sweet Escape.[12]
